Neil deGrasse Tyson Instagram – ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ September 22, 2021 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Equinox to all Earthlings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Latin for equal-night, today we all get 12 hrs of day & night — except we don’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ FYI: Sunlight crossing from the vacuum of space into Earth’s atmosphere refracts, adding a few minutes more light at sunrise & sunset than we’d otherwise receive.
